I would like to see Rice play in a deep role instead of Kouyate but it won't happen. WBA play one up front so having 4 defenders is a waste,effectively we have six around the midfield with more pace to attack their pedestrian midfield of which Barry is one

I hate to say it, but l agree we should keep it the same.It is just far to defensive, really no midfield we will need to agian push up so high that we do not need a midfield. Front 3 is great though, more goals please.Hammers

With Bilic we will never be able to do anything else because it requires him to be able to set up a team to attack whilst not leaving the team wide open at the back. He has shown repeatedly that he is incapable of doing that.

Tough game this one, as others have said we will struggle if we play into Pulis's hands, not sure how we approached it last year but I know we were 4 down by half time, if any lessons can be learned from that.
